This hypnotic platter features a dynamic zig-zag swirl, hand-painted in contrasting natural tones. Crafted from local clay and fired using a low-impact, open wood method, the piece is burnished smooth by hand for a soft, tactile finish. Use it to serve or hang it on the wall (the plate has holes at the back that can be threaded!). A bold statement piece.
Byentaro Ceramics work with unprocessed clay and earth pigments. No chemical glazes, just natural colour, texture, and form. It’s material honesty.
Every artisan at Byentaro earns a fair wage, supporting their families and education. The studio fosters long-term employment, rooted in respect and shared success.
Inspired by his grandmother’s techniques, Moses and his team honour Uganda’s pottery heritage, passing on skills and keeping this ancestral knowledge alive.

Every piece from Byentaro Ceramics is shaped by many hands and a deep connection to the local land and traditions.
The raw clay is collected from the village, and then refined by hand. It’s soaked in recycled rainwater, sieved and kneaded to remove impurities, and then worked into form using coiling, pinching, slab, and wheel-throwing techniques.
Natural earth pigments in tones of black, white, orange and blue are painted freehand before firing. A unique two-stage firing process, including an open wood-fired finish, results in rich, smoky surfaces.
Once fired, items are burnished smooth with stones; a patient process often carried out by women in the studio.
No two items are ever the same.
